He-Man Body Ad

No comics were harmed in the making of this paper airplane. -The Management

So many temptations on this page of ads, from a He-Man body building with Charles Atlas, to an offer for a Pet Baby Raccoon! These were the clickbait of their era, and by all accounts, they worked! It’s actually a bit of fun to read through these and see what people were selling back in the day, and for just how little they were selling it for.

The page itself is from a vintage comic book, Marvel Comics Group, Vault Of Evil, Feb, 1973. I take these old pages and turn them into paper airplanes. It just seems like the sensible thing to do. I do all the folding digitally. I don’t actually harm the comics at all.

I’m showing you the unfolded original page of ads to give you an idea of what I start with, but I only sell the folded paper airplane version.

This is “Appropriation Art”, or at least it’s my version of it. It’s a tribute to my youth, and the time I spent reading a lot of comic books. -YoPedro

This image is available on PIXELS or RedBubble as a print, or a whole slew of products, it boggles the mind. One of the greatest things about art these days is the ability to print it on so many different items. For an artist this is quite an exciting time, to know that buyers of art are willing to share artwork in such wonderful new ways.

If you would prefer a signed print, those are available too. -YoPedro
